Our Code of Conduct committee has recently updated our Policy on harassment and discrimination. We are in the process of developing further resources to help ensure that the annual Evolution meetings are safe and free from discrimination or harassment of any type, and to support attendees who feel harassed, threatened, or unsafe in any way.

If you would like to report an incident of inappropriate behavior that occurred during an Evolution meeting, please contact our Safety officer:
